They use lots of different personnel that the Vols have been prepping for, as the Tennessee Volunteers head footbll coach spoke with the media on Monday to discuss the preparation for a tricky offense that they have to play in week one of their 2025 football season.

Tennessee Volunteers Coach Josh Heupel Talks Syracuse Offense and Preparation

“A lot of different personnel. All their shift trade motions. The communication is going to be important. I said it earlier, but, you know, tying all three levels of your defense together is going to be important in this. You got to be able to win one on one matchups with the way that they spread the field, too. That’s in your secondary, but that’s also winning one on one matchups up front.”
